When Tooth Trouble Calls For Retreatment

How Apicoectomies Treat Teeth Roots
There are sometimes problems with our teeth that require treatment at their roots. This can create difficulties for care, as this makes the “root” of your oral health problem harder to access.

Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office can offer more involved restorative procedures that tend to problems that can be difficult for your general dentist to access. Because of this, we can do work to save a tooth that is at risk for being lost. Our services include treatments that effectively build on damaged tooth structure to make sure you can support a permanent crown. (more…)
